Learn about the LSAT

What’s a good LSAT score?

The LSAT is scored on a 120-180 scale. The average LSAT score is about a 151. This relatively small range of scores means that small improvements in performance can increase your score and percentile ranking quite a bit. Sometimes, a one point increase in your score can boost your percentile ranking by as many as 5 points.

What’s tested on the LSAT?

The LSAT, at its core, is a test of your ability to manipulate language in a logical way within a limited amount of time. It is a test of skill, not content. You parse arguments, you rip apart and reconstruct language, and you don’t take any statement for granted. The Four Core Skills essential to LSAT success are all reflections of this.

When should I take the LSAT?

Here are the basics. The LSAT is given six times a year in February, June, July, September, November, and December. Each test is composed on the same types of questions, the same types of sections and either 100 or 101 questions–or in the rare case of December 2010, 102. The seats are filled with talented, capable people who want to get into law school.

LSAT Study Plan: 30 Days

In order to study for the LSAT in a month and see a significant score improvement, you will need to use your time very efficiently. Maybe you registered for the test one month ago and got caught up in work, school, family, or other fun. Or maybe you just made the decision to apply to law school and are signing up for the test now. Regardless, if you’re going to take the LSAT in a few short weeks, you’ve got some work to do.
